Fivem

Fivem is a demanding multiplayer title that stresses both processor and graphics hardware, and the Intel Core i7-14700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER produces a wide range of frame rates depending on the resolution and quality preset selected. The measured data reveals a system that is capable of excellent high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, but which begins to show its limits when pushed to 4K Ultra settings. The benchmark results indicate that this combination ranks in the 82nd percentile among all tested combos in this game, placing it 321st out of 1792 configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K demonstrates a classic pattern where the GPU becomes progressively more of a limiting factor as resolution increases, though the CPU remains highly influential at lower resolutions. At the Low preset, the average frame rate drops from 289.4 FPS at 1920x1080 to 187.3 FPS at 2560x1440, and then to 105.9 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 35% decrease from 1080p to 1440p and a further 43% decrease from 1440p to 4K, showing that even at the lowest settings, the rendering load at 4K is substantially heavier.

The scaling pattern shifts when examining the High preset, where the average frame rate goes from 185.2 FPS at 1080p to 122 FPS at 1440p, and then to 65.4 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K here is a significant 46%, which is steeper than the drop at Low settings, indicating that the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of VRAM and memory bandwidth are being taxed more heavily as both resolution and visual complexity increase. At the Ultra preset, the 4K average of 51.4 FPS is only 36% of the 1080p Ultra score of 141.9 FPS, showing that this combination is not suited for maximum quality at 4K.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the Intel Core i7-14700K with its 20 cores and 28 threads is doing much of the heavy lifting, as the frame rates at Low and Medium settings exceed what the GPU alone would typically deliver. However, by 4K, the scaling between presets becomes much more pronounced, with the Ultra preset delivering less than half the frame rate of the Low preset. This indicates that at 4K, the GPU is the primary bottleneck, and users should expect to make significant compromises in visual quality to maintain playable frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i7-14700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER achieves a rank of 321 out of 1792 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the top 18% of all configurations. This is a strong showing for a system that pairs a high-end 14th-gen processor with an upper-midrange graphics card. The CPU alone sits in the 96th percentile among all processors, while the GPU ranks in the 84th percentile among all graphics cards, suggesting that the processor is relatively stronger than the graphics card in this pairing.

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the Intel Core i7-14700K posts an average benchmark score of 70074, which is essentially tied with the Intel Core i7-14700KF at 70104 and the AMD EPYC 9115 at 69887. The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is slightly ahead at 70420, a 0.5% advantage, while the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 leads by 1.4% with a score of 71056. These are all extremely close margins, indicating that the i7-14700K is well-positioned among top-tier processors, though it does not lead its class. On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER's average benchmark score of 42576 is nearly identical to the NVIDIA RTX A6000 at 42653 and the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE at 42723, with deltas of -0.2% and -0.3% respectively.

The combo's rank in Fivem specifically is influenced by the game's heavy reliance on single-threaded performance and memory latency, areas where the i7-14700K excels. The measured frame rates at 1080p Low, reaching 289.4 FPS, demonstrate that this combo can push well beyond the refresh rates of most monitors, suggesting that the CPU is not holding back the GPU in less demanding scenarios. However, the rank of 321 indicates that there are a significant number of combinations that deliver higher average frame rates, likely those with even faster processors or more powerful GPUs.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process, featuring 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. Its memory configuration includes 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1980 MHz with a boost clock of 2475 MHz, and its memory runs at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed. These specifications place the card in a position where it can handle 1440p gaming exceptionally well, but 4K Ultra settings push it beyond its comfort zone.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly critical as resolution increases. At 1080p, the measured frame rates across all settings are high enough that the GPU is rarely the limiting factor, with even Ultra settings delivering 141.9 FPS. The 80 ROPs and 224 TMUs provide sufficient pixel and texture throughput for 1080p and 1440p, but the 192-bit memory bus and 12 GB VRAM capacity become constraints at 4K. The 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power is substantial, yet the game's draw calls and asset streaming at 4K Ultra appear to exceed what the memory subsystem can efficiently feed.

The GPU's boost clock of 2475 MHz is relatively high for this class of card, which helps maintain strong performance at 1440p. However, the measured 4K Ultra average of 51.4 FPS indicates that the card is fully utilized and cannot maintain the same efficiency as at lower resolutions. The RTX 4070 SUPER's position among its nearest rivals, with a benchmark score of 42576, shows it performs almost identically to the RTX A6000 and RX 7650 GRE, but the measured Fivem results suggest that game-specific optimization and driver behavior play a significant role in real-world performance.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which settings preset delivers the best experience for this hardware combination. At 1080p, the High preset offers an excellent balance with 185.2 FPS, while the Ultra preset still delivers a very playable 141.9 FPS. For users with 1440p monitors, the High preset at 122 FPS is the sweet spot, providing smooth gameplay without the substantial frame rate penalty of Ultra, which drops to 90.6 FPS. The Medium preset at 147.6 FPS is also viable for competitive play, but High offers better visual fidelity with only a 17% reduction in frame rate.

For 4K gaming, the data suggests that the High preset is the only reasonable choice, delivering 65.4 FPS. The Ultra preset at 51.4 FPS is technically playable but sits below the 60 FPS threshold preferred by most players, while the Medium preset at 80.7 FPS offers a significant improvement and may be preferable for those who prioritize smoothness over maximum visual quality. The Low preset at 105.9 FPS is the highest-performing option at 4K, but the visual compromises are substantial.

The optimal recommendation depends on the user's display and performance priorities. For 1080p and 1440p users, the High preset provides the best combination of visual quality and frame rate headroom, allowing for consistent performance above 120 FPS. For 4K users, the choice between Medium and High is a trade-off between 80.7 FPS and 65.4 FPS, with the Medium preset offering a 23% performance boost over High. Given that this combo ranks 321st overall, it is better suited to high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p gaming than to 4K maximum quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination delivers its strongest results across all presets. The Low preset achieves 289.4 FPS, the Medium preset reaches 226.8 FPS, and the High preset produces 185.2 FPS. The Ultra preset, while still impressive at 141.9 FPS, represents a 51% reduction from Low, showing the significant cost of maximum quality settings. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is capable of driving even the highest refresh rate monitors without issue.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show the expected decline. The Low preset measures 187.3 FPS, which is still above the refresh rate of most 1440p gaming monitors. Medium delivers 147.6 FPS, High reaches 122 FPS, and Ultra drops to 90.6 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 35% across all presets, indicating consistent GPU scaling without any unexpected bottlenecks.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates fall significantly. The Low preset manages 105.9 FPS, which is playable but represents a 63% drop from the 1080p Low score. Medium achieves 80.7 FPS, High delivers 65.4 FPS, and Ultra drops to 51.4 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured configuration below 60 FPS, confirming that this combo is not ideal for 4K maximum quality gaming. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 54 FPS, a 51% difference, which is larger than the 48% difference at 1440p and the 51% difference at 1080p, showing that the GPU's limitations become more pronounced at higher resolutions.
